Just Keep Swimming....

We have been able to go swimming quite a few times this summer,

and boy do we LoVE it!!

We recently had a pool party with my friend's kids,

Addison and "Meffew" (aka Matthew).

We went to their house on a sweltering midafternoon

and took a dunk in their swimming pool...



Ava especially loved going down the slide!


Meanwhile, little Halle Bean just sat on the grass as happy as can be!

I always have to take pictures of her feet because they are so tiny and stinkin' cute!

(We've measured her feet next to a newborn's and they're almost the same size. Halle will turn 1 next month, but she is barely in 3-6 months shoe size.)

After swimming in the pool, Ava and Addison took turns purshing each other on the swing.




Then, we've gone to my aunt's house a few times to swim. She has a 4 ft. deep pool and we just swim for hours. We bought Ava some floaties and she loves not having us hold her every second.




Halle also loves the water. My aunts pool is pretty warm, and Halle loved being in her floatie. She kicks her legs so hard and she loves it when we pull her around.


And of course, Dad had to make sure she gets a slam dunk in once in awhile.

For those of you who don't know, Halle has super human strength. She is seriously the strongest baby ever!! My father-in-law calls her "Popeye" and always asks if she is eating her spinach. I literally have to use 2 hands and all my strenght to take something away from her. She can do full sit ups! Anyway, back to the subject... Nate put her up to the top of the hoop and she just hung there for like 15 seconds. She is sure to be a great basketball player!
